Bangladesh compare to the world tourism
market.

the security system at the tourist place.

social, cultural and economic benefits from the
tourism sector.

The government should increase the

investment, so that it will create employment
opportunity on the one hand and on the other
hand it reduces the dependence of the country
on some other specific sectors.
